Solution

Para encontrar la fórmula explícita para ana_n, el término nn-ésimo de la secuencia 6,18,54,6, -18, 54, \ldots, sigamos estos pasos:

  1. Identificar el primer término (a1a_1): El primer término de la secuencia es 66.

  2. Determinar la razón común (rr): La razón común se encuentra dividiendo cualquier término por el término anterior. r=186=3 r = \frac{-18}{6} = -3 Verifiquemos con el siguiente par de términos: r=5418=3 r = \frac{54}{-18} = -3 La razón común es consistente y es 3-3.

  3. Escribir la fórmula explícita: La fórmula para el término nn-ésimo de una secuencia geométrica es: an=a1r(n1) a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{(n-1)} Sustituyendo a1=6a_1 = 6 y r=3r = -3: an=6(3)(n1) a_n = 6 \cdot (-3)^{(n-1)}

Por lo tanto, la fórmula explícita para el término nn-ésimo de la secuencia es: an=6(3)(n1) a_n = 6 \cdot (-3)^{(n-1)}
